3 26th Annual FOPCON Plant Sale Welcome back to our annual plant sale sponsored by the Friends of the Oak Park Conservatory. It is the middle of March as I write this and while we enjoyed 73 balmy degrees on Monday, I m back in my heavier jacket not two days later. Nothing surprising there as this is the Midwest, but you can feel the change happening in the air and in the length of the days. Our snow mounds are disappearing and are being replaced by Snow Drops - so let s start thinking about gardening! Just as we ve done for the previous 25 sales, we ve worked our way through the overwhelming choices of plants (both new and old-favorites); planted thousands of seeds, transplanted as many tiny seedlings and plugs; and readied everything for our annual weekend of plant delights. The work is in full-swing and our plants are growing by leaps and bounds. Our catalog is arranged according to three main categories (Edible, the Ornamental Garden, and the Shade Garden). Within those three categories, plants are listed in alphabetical order according to their botanical name. This listing corresponds to the layout of the plants on the tables at the sale. We offer our plants in a variety of sizes; from a 4-pak of seedlings, 4 inch pots, and tall quart size containers. All pricing is noted in the catalog and those prices are indicated by the presence of a solid colored tag in each container. While we strive to keep the accuracy of the catalog as high as possible, please note that prices, container sizes, and availability of plants are subject to changes up to and including the sale days. Pricing information: Yellow tag $4 Blue tag $6 Red tag $10 Green tag $15 This annual sale is presented by the Friends of the Oak Park Conservatory with the help of many dedicated volunteers. Your support helps the Friends provide quality educational programs, community events and other support for the historic Oak Park Conservatory. We are asking our loyal (and new) customers to please bring their own boxes or trays to transport their purchases home. We were unable to store our stash of cardboard boxes that we have gathered from local liquor purveyors in previous years and will therefore have a limited supply of boxes this year. The best recycling is reusing a box that you already possess. Thank you for helping out. See you at the sale! Plant Sale Committee 2015 The Oak Park Conservatory is a historic property of the Park District of Oak Park, listed on the National Register of Historic Places. 3

4 EDIBLES Plants in the first section of the sale belong in the edible garden. Some are used as flavorings or garnishes, but, in one way or another, belong on your plate. Edible flowers such as Calendula and Pansy are included here. Also included are plants that attract pollinators or discourage pests. All require at least six hours of sun each day. Some may survive with less sun, but flowers and fruit will be more abundant if grown in the sun. HELP OUR SALE HELP THE ENVIRONMENT.
